What is the difference between a delta and a flood plain?

A delta is formed at the mouth of a river where sediment is deposited, creating a fan-shaped landform.

Essentially, a floodplain is an area that can be part of a delta but not all deltas have floodplains.


Why is Shrewsbury prone to flooding?

Shrewsbury is built upon a flood plain on a meander bend of the River Severn so the area is bound to get floods and water comes in at Shrewsbury in all direction (Shrewsbury is surrounding by the River Severn) the surface (concrete) which it is built upon is an impermeable surface so the water can not infiltrate it- increase and encouraging surface run off.
